the situation out there is really really scary square was just a short distance behind me on the other side of the river the military helicopters are flying overhead when i'm out on the streets frightened residents who are not actually at the square telling me to go indoors go indoors people holed up in their homes people are following events on television if they are not down in the square itself. the journalist of our sister organization was injured he was hit by a stone because people are using stones and using bricks they using molotov cocktails anything that they can get their hands on now there was a moment yesterday when it looked as if this violence could be prevented when all of a sudden people arrived on camels and on horseback it's not really clear who sent them but what we do suspect is that they are people who work at the pyramids and they are angry with the fact that tourists have been kept away because of concerns of what is happening here so question suspicions who is behind this violence and with me to explore this i have mr adult add way who is a member of the egyptian foreign relations council thank you for joining me do you

think that there is foreign involvement i think there is a lot of range means a lot of support especially from the media from media from outside egypt and i think this is very sad because. a. lot of pressure from many faction factions they don't like to see egypt more stable what about a figure like mohamed el baradei could he be influencing the waste and media i think you'd be it helps you could influence western media but unfortunately has no influence inside here because people realize that he is just coming for a short time talking to a little bit and then going out and most of his time he was living outside and he was never even asked to do it to be and to interfere and he he was. proposed some as you can figures and he was. one of them so it is not even his

initiative became just but another religion and i think he's not doing he's not trying to unseat what about the regimes that we're seeing in yemen and in jordan i mean protests have broken out there these are regimes that have traditionally been supported by the united states in the same way that mubarak was supported by the united states they must be very worried i mean it seems as if the u.s. has abandoned mubarak do you think that they could be concerned that america's about to abandon them i think a lot of started. to declare a lot of changes and also in jordan there's a lot of the change i think what is going on in egypt it will affect most of the middle east and not only in the middle of the area because it really is as we watch now all the t.v. around we see that all the international community is following is going on because of fix the economy in the financial and even the stability and security in many other countries is normally the. reason to feel just to stop any

short of. unusual which is a question that thousands of people are asking here in cairo as well what exactly is the military planning to do there out there on the streets but they keeping a very very low profile the other point of course as was mentioned here is the role of islamised groups and my colleague lower image looked into that further. egypt in turmoil young men out on the streets calling for the unity of the muslim nation ruled by shari'a law but this isn't cairo it's london where young men are also out on the streets calling for an islamic state this is his but an organization linked to terrorist activities throughout the world it's banned in russia and in some arab countries including egypt but in the u.k. it's allowed to operate freely in britain it's very hard in the current legislation to ban. yeah the government when they're out power said they were going to i think

once they're in power they've seen how the legislation specifically so i think they'll carry on monitoring the groups but won't do anything to prescribe them the trouble in egypt prompted this london demonstration with the british arm of his but terror it jumping on the bandwagon to promote their own islamic state in front of the embassy in london was a big demonstration in support. to the uprising in egypt and. the. demonstration wanted to do it. in front of the embassy but actually the organizers of the refused and they said this is. demands and it has nothing to do with it. holding up the flag and you want to put this down because this is a legitimate according to understanding of islam the influence runs both ways the muslim brotherhood egypt's main opposition and

a notable incisive of the current demonstrations is according to some a creation of british intelligence you might get the muslim brotherhood. creation from the one nine hundred twenty s. . to oppose modernity at least that's the basic thing that they did and the fifty's and sixty's there are some of those factions may have no lord but still this is quite a leap. the muslim brotherhood with the look into their background their essentially they pretend to be islamists but they're essentially a fabrication of the globalists. outside muslim countries has put terror enjoys its strongest support here in the u.k. it's organized on university campuses including luton which was attended by the stockholm bomber and although the organization claims it doesn't advocate violence the links are there for all to see she bomber richard reid influenced by his but terror preaches to british suicide. on those who attacked

a bar in tel aviv in two thousand and three had contacts. who tried to detonate car bombs in london and glasgow in two thousand and seven influenced by his but terrorism members while studying the government's policy on radical islamic organizations while they operate inside the law in the u.k. involves dialogue and debate groups like his but terry are allowed to demonstrate so you plainly hear calling for an end to democracy and the instigation of syria law but the violence in egypt has already spread to the u.k. in the form of demonstrations here at the embassy and the question now being asked is whether every voice with an opinion on egypt's future has the right to be heard nor emmett's r.t. . meantime europe's major powers are follow the u.s. in calling for an immediate political transition in egypt however russia's foreign minister sort of he laughed it off told us here at r.t. that foreign intervention is not necessary to help resolve the crisis in egypt. i

don't think you. should really be pushing one way or another i don't think any suggestions for a moment so i'm going to be hopeful and they're going to lead to a sustainable resolution of the situation i don't think artificial lines at the ball to move. you know their. forces political groups. themselves find their way oh. now you can watch the full version of the interview with russia's foreign minister after off in our spotlight program that's coming your way this saturday now for more analysis on the story that's that's cross live to political observer peter emerson joining us now. last so mr emerson we know the u.s.

has said that it supports mohamed el baradei to lead the opposition against mubarak in egypt of the former chief of the i.a.e.a. mr el baradei but now the european powers are getting involved with no evident choice of their own to replace mubarak why do you think these european powers are getting involved. could always be that concerned about what might happen. it is as you know a very fluid situation my my worry is that if the egypt or any of the other countries takes on the majority here in the form of democracy which we have in the west in most countries anyway that this would allow for one faction or another to dominate. the much better course of action would be for something like a government of national unity which they've already been calls for that in turn he said maybe it will happen to an easier tide and they haven't had to have. a

government of national unity will ensure that what we're trying to ensure that no one factional can then dominate and insist on their point of view now when you talk about a government of national unity or even the issue of democracy to all the european leaders here and they are they calling for a western style democracy to be implemented in arab countries such as egypt. to the best of my knowledge no not yet. but if we look at other historical events they they're all phone calls for democracy but the term is seldom defined as such and therefore the outside it could well assume that what they mean is the sort of thing that they have at home and at home if you're talking about washington or london or paris or bone or whatever but and then you're talking about what is usually a two party system or at least a government versus opposition system where the parliament is itself defined. we

feel that it would be much better if as i say they were for a government of national unity and tried to retain that solidarity which we have seen on the streets up until recent times anyway and to hope that that will survive into any political changes that may take place now we are currently right now looking at live pictures from cairo where other protests continuing what appear to be thousands of people in the streets starnes and it just looks like a just a widespread chaos there live pictures here from cairo mr emerson there's been some reports coming out of television that israel is highly concerned about the possible spread of violence across its borders from from egypt here when it comes to the u.s. and the western powers calling for an immediate power transition in cairo how much of it is followed by israel and its concerns for regional stability do you think. i'm sure it has an influence on the shore as it is concerned to what extent they

are influencing the west and process that i can't honestly say from here and every . day it comes back to my point because if you if you look at the israel palestine situation again it is the fear of the majority on both sides that israel is worried about. sorry i've just lost my. caller. on the story i've just lost the. sense little so look at. these live pictures here coming in from cairo again these are these are the scenes of thousands of protesters storming the streets there all of the ancient city and and for the meantime i'm afraid i do apologize we have lost most of the political observer live from belfast but certainly had some fascinating insight to offer when it comes to the conflict what is going on in cairo and with these protests demanding that hosni mubarak the president and. well for many many years that he

stepped down and now we know that the major western european powers and that of washington d.c. have all come together calling for placement to be to be found immediately a transition of power to be implemented as soon as possible but we have been hearing reports of other news agencies in cairo being attacked as they've been trying to report on this on these violent protests and whether whether whether the the people are dealing whether people are dealing with democrats or radicals that has yet to be to be unveiled so you are with our team now live from moscow and the similar wave of protests has been occurring in nearby yemen and pro and anti government demonstrators have been holding protests there in the capital of sanaa now thousands of opposition supporters are holding a day of rage demanding the resignation of the country's president ali abdullah saleh supporters of the current government also gathered for a rally accusing the opposition all of trying to create chaos the demonstrations

come a day after the yemeni president pledged not to seek another term in office has been in power for over thirty years. but you are still to come for you in the program slightly lighter stories that have preparing for takeoff. russia superjet one hundred receives its ticket into the skies as it's officially certified. investigators think they know the identity of the suicide bomber who carried out the attack last month but president medvedev warned against hasty conclusions until the case has been fully solved your cutting the cost of is a moscow that is following the latest numbers for us but let's get up to date now with kathy so headways we may in the investigation tell us what are the latest events that you know the latest has been the federal security service says they know and also me the name of the pot the trade all the attack at the airport but

they also know the names of the mosques to mind so the attack we had a brushes made to must excuse the agency that was be today would or should be nice to the president he also said that the agency's now doing everything possible to arrest all those who they believe are linked to the attack and to do this soon as possible several people have been already rested and there is a manhunt for a number of others as a result of this major attack of the country's largest outboards and the busiest that transport thirty six people were killed among them six sporran citizens and as many as a hundred and fifty people what we just many still remain in hospitals with c.b.s. injuries they remain in intensive care units in the way called the attack presently very promise those in charge would be prosecuted and if they resist they'll be illuminatus on the sports today behind of this be also confirms that they have identified the suicide bomber here's how the out of russia's main security agency

described the man himself. i will just name the age of this person he's twenty years old he lived in one of the north caucasus republics according to our information he joined one criminal group last all based which was based in. in this area the evidence shows that the suicide bomber was under heavy drugs when since no be explosion it confirms how criminals prepare suicide bombers for these kind of crimes if you will as the. first reports on the suicide bomb on the book the cradle of the tepper ability this week count but the name of the this twenty year old man has not been disclosed as investigation is still ongoing that is b. suspect that robert eve so the young man could have been linked to the attack could have hoped carry out these attacks also the president tells russia which they have today expressed has a certain level of optimism holding their full but he also urged both police and how it was be to be very cautious when releasing any information on this case to

mass media as the case has not yet reached the quarter and investigate cambridge investigation that it will be the investigation is making good progress here to talk to us about the changes in security how it had been up since the attacks of course there's been very harsh rhetoric following the attack from the president and we witnessed a major. major was shaping russia's transport he's now the state duma is considering to introduce a new terror alert system which is in place in the united states of america for example several metro stations it must have been already equipped with new detectors including chemical detectors there are new scanners and stored as well that was leave the system as it produced a good definitely how both police have to be worked together in case if there is a terror alert it could help them isolate and prevent those security risks of course we all being out via the country's largest airport would build

now a brand new a russian passenger plane has been given permission to fly into the lucrative world of commercial aviation the sukhoi superjet one hundred first designed in the country since the soviet times. the sukhoi superjet one hundred is the first civil aircraft produced in russia since the soviet times which means that it has to be built absolutely from scratch and is geared up with some of the most modern and advanced equipment it's a short range aircraft people off travelling not further than two or two and a half thousand miles and transporting up to one hundred people way now has been officially certified it got its ticket into the skies this intergovernmental aviation committee includes all of the former soviet republics and according to the

. civil aviation company which produces this plane the next step is to get a similar certificate from the european air space agency since it's a short range aircraft it's first of all that it will take the place of many of the soviet and al did planes truly used by many russian airlines for domestic flights but also many analysts say that this is quite an attractive segment of the market and the super jet one hundred will be very in demand internationally as well since it was build from scratch it did take a little longer than planned initially its development took longer and in december italy's alitalia announced that it was canceling its order but at the moment there are around one hundred and seventy orders for this plane and the civil aviation company says it plans to build at least eleven of them by the end of this year and

hopes to boost production to forty or even fifty planes by two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen. hours twenty two minutes past the hour here in moscow let's check out some other world news in brief for you this hour four people have died and twenty seven injured by a factory explosion in an industrial district of the turkish capital two floors four story building collapsed as a result of the blast. many have been rescued from the dead but it's feared more victims remain trapped the mayor says the incident is thoughts are being caused by a gas leak. in australia cyclon which left a trail of destruction across the northeastern queensland is now losing power yes see one of the most powerful storms ever recorded ripped through houses leaving thousands homeless people are missing there are no reports of deaths or injuries the cost of repairs are likely to be in the billions. and

russia four of the fourth annual for me being held here in moscow as we've heard from the finance minister next week who didn't he says that russia needs to increase investment by seven to ten percent each year in order to sustain economic growth of more than four percent annually well one of the most interesting sectors everyone's talking about here is the banking sector has been a lot of consolidation going on there's a deal bank acquiring troika dialog the organizer of this forum there's also a deal in the making of bt be pretty much given the green light to acquire bank of moscow and well how is that going to reflect on their transparency on their ratings on their investment attractiveness this is what we're going to talk about with the james watson the managing director of fish ratings thanks so much james so what do you think about the recent trends in terms of consolidation well i've been that the big news is that consolidation is finally starting to happen is something that we've been talking about we've been expecting for maybe ten or fifteen years now we see real transactions starting to happen we see not just the states and banks

acquiring some of the players in the market we also see some private banks also trying to consolidate with others to increase their market share. and improve their critical mass where we regard that as a positive development generally for the site so what about the risks in the sector what are they. i think the risks are perhaps twofold i think on the one hand banks are still addressing some of the problems they have from the crisis in terms of bad loans on their balance sheets a lot of loans that still need to be worked out cash that still needs to be brought back into banks from those loans on the other hand banks are actually starting to post up some significant growth in some cases we saw the banking sector grow during the last nine months of last year maybe by about twenty percent annualized to expect something similar this year and any growth of that kind clearly needs to be managed prudently to prevent another buildup of us that quality risk james watson managing director. thank you so much for talking to a business out there here at the store for him that's all we have time for back to

you. let's take a look at the markets european stock markets are lower down under half a percent this hour royal dutch shell slumped over three percent after a fourth quarter results meanwhile deutsche bank is shutting losses on the dax even after reporting a fifty four percent drop in fourth quarter net profits to eight hundred thirty million dollars and the european central bank has decided to keep interest rates unchanged despite rising inflation. and in russia the russian markets are losing an afternoon trading energy shares have retreated with gazprom losing over three quarter of a percent luke oil is only slightly brosnan after setting under two percent in the rising leader though it's come oz the company has gained almost three and a half percent during the day on the news that the dialogue may sell more than ten percent come on. many amas believe that emerging markets are fast becoming the new drivers of global economic growth but

russell knapp here global equity strategist says this is just. a product. capital misallocation that's going to go to lose so would we see these sort of visions for example to sell the future to be an emerging world one of the discussion we've had to do is about why nobody in russia can get a real return in their deposits rich going to be the inflation so that encourage people to get the money or to be patient and do other things this is actually the norm in the emerging world is because new virgin markets would. develop new money people to still tied to the new strings which i think you know what i'm going to defend him in repose even if their own interest rates on a bubble. and brant crude has surged above the hundred three dollars a barrel mark fueled by rising demand and the tensions in egypt many experts say oil is likely to continue rallying over the next several years. if the global economy is stronger than is expected because the western countries recover and the

us recovers then the demand for oil will be very strong and all prices will go up and if i'm right and everything collapses in the world in the next five ten years then oil prices will go up because of wars and disruptions of traffic and shipping and so forth so either way in oil i think you'll do relatively well in the next ten years. and that's all business news for this hour but you can always find more stories on our website that's artsy dot com slash business also watching.
